The Chef
Born in the French Alps, Chef Clement then moved with his family in central France, and worked at his father’s butcher shop. He acquired a taste for fresh, simple food that makes the pride of his hometown’s artisan products and his mother’s home cooking.
Chef Clement began spending time in professional kitchens at age 15 and subsequently began his education by working in restaurants in Bordeaux, the Pyrénées and Paris. Chef Clement spent six years in Paris pursuing his love of the culinary arts at venues including The Bistro du Peintre, a typical bistro in the Bastille area; La Cigalle, a small restaurant specializing in soufflés, L’Escargot Montorgueuil , and La Cantine Des Gourmets, a Michelin star rated restaurant. Before moving to the United States, he worked briefly at Fitzer’s in Temple Bar, Ireland, where he was executive chef.
